News 'O the Weird

This past weekend at Donington Supersonic Rider Maxime Berger had quite an interruption during the 6th lap of Race 1 on Sunday. As you can see in the photo at the right, his rear wheel had a differing opinion about the best line to take in a turn and decided to leave Berger to finish the turn with just the front wheel.

Needless to say Berger failed to complete the turn but fortunately he was unhurt and ready to proceed on to Race 2. As he was getting ready though his 1098R's cluth started giving him and his team fits making for a disappointing day (to say the least) for the Supersonic racing team. Better luck next time guys.

I don't know if the wheel was loose or not but the wheel broke away from the hub which was still on the bike. I was just being funny, not trying to suggest the wheel loosened or wasn't tight to begin with. Here is a closeup of the hub still on the bike:
